[2][3] On leaving the university Rogers officiated as minister at Haversham, Buckinghamshire, but when Stephen Marshall, his father's successor at Wethersfield, moved to Finchingfield, Rogers returned to Wethersfield as lecturer, with Daniel Weld or Weald, another puritan, as vicar.
He had several personal discussions with William Laud, who paid tribute to his scholarship, but, after being harassed for various acts of nonconformity, he was suspended by the archbishop in 1629.
[3] The latter part of Rogers's life was passed at Wethersfield., where he had for neighbour as vicar of Shalford his relative, Giles Firmin, a royalist in politics.
On the fast day proclaimed after the execution of Charles I, Rogers went home with Firmin and "bemoaned the king's death".
"[3] Several of Rogers's works are dedicated to Robert Rich, 2nd Earl of Warwick, and to his countess Susanna, at whose house at Leez Priory he was often welcomed.
